Quattuor hic compressa opuscula
A 1520 Venetian printed compilation of four short works, printed by Bernardino Benalio and including texts on the Sibyls, the Bible and writings tied to Saint Jerome and Saint Augustine, likely for scholarly readers. The pictures are woodcut frames around standing female prophets, each set in a Gothic arch or architectural border with scrolls and inscriptions, and a designer could borrow their strict symmetry, framed portrait format and decorative initial letters.
